Information for Hosts
The University of Glasgow proudly supports visitors from across the globe. We also must remain committed to the principles of trusted research. This means there are a number of considerations to make when planning to host a visitor.
Due Diligence
Your first step should be conducting some due diligence. Ask yourself questions like
- Does their research background match what they want to come to do?
- Do you seem like a natural fit for the work?
- Guidance on this is available here
Visa Status
- Consider and discuss with your visitor if they will they need a visa or atas clearance to work in the UK
- Are they coming from a higher-risk jurisdiction? This may have an impact on allowed areas of work
- Useful resources:
Export Control

- Will your visitor continue to work with an institution in a sanctioned country?
- If you need help to determine if this might apply to you contact the Research Governance and Integrity Team via Ivanti
Access
- Where would your visitor need access to during their visit?
- What equipment, facilities or other resources (e.g. IT, labs, JWNC) do they need to use?
